What Is Credential Evaluation (WES / ECE / ICAS)?

WES (World Education Services), ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators), and ICAS (International Credential Assessment Service) are independent organizations based in the United States and Canada — not Korean or government agencies. They review a foreign degree and transcript and explain what it's equivalent to within the U.S. or Canadian education system.

When a university, employer, immigration program (such as Canada's Express Entry), or licensing board asks for a "credential evaluation" or "ECA" (Educational Credential Assessment), they're asking you to have your Korean diploma and transcript reviewed by one of these agencies — not simply authenticated. This is different from an Apostille, which only confirms a document is genuine. A credential evaluation goes a step further and explains what the degree actually means in the receiving country's terms.

Which agency you need — WES, ECE, or ICAS — depends on your destination country and the purpose of your application. Your receiving institution will typically tell you which one they accept; if you're not sure, let us know during your consultation and we can help you confirm it.

Pricing

Three ways to complete authentication, depending on where — and to whom — your documents are going.

Issuance + Apostille

Apostille Package

$84+ USD / document
Processing time: 8+ business days

Covers issuance and Hague Apostille certification, for destination countries that are Hague Convention members.

Issuance + Consular Confirmation

Consular Confirmation Package

$84+ USD / document
Processing time: 8+ business days, varies by destination country

Final pricing depends on your destination country's embassy or consulate in Korea, and is confirmed during your consultation.

Direct to Evaluation Agency

WES / ECE / ICAS

$238 USD / document
Processing time: 10 business days

Your Korean institution seals the document and adds a reference number, and we send it directly to your credential evaluation agency (WES, ECE, ICAS, etc.) — bypassing the apostille/consular process entirely.
